There were two Great Debates last week.

On the back of its Lego Masters lead-in, Nine’s came out on top at 655,000 metro viewers, but Seven’s was received better, especially for moderator Mark Riley, if at a lower 529,000.

Seven won another week buoyed by Seven News and The Voice -but the return of Big Brother trailed in the reality race.

For 10 MasterChef Australiawas the stand-out, which is more than can be said for the appalling primary share on Saturday -just 2.8%.

Gruen Nation returned to 588,000 for ABC.

Meanwhile there was also better news for Today, resuming its second place in the breakfast battle.
